Curried Millet with Chickpeas and Currants

I felt kinda blah today so I skipped out on kickboxing. I’ve been getting weird light-headedness lately and felt it this afternoon.

I feel guilty about missing the class because 1) I already paid for it, and 2) I hate skipping out on commitments, but getting punched in the head really did not sound appealing. Lying down and reading The Game of Thrones, on the other hand,sounded very appealing.

I imagine tomorrow I will feel better. Or I’m hoping so. I started a new weightlifting routine for the next 4 weeks and I am excited to get that workout in. It’s just a 2-day full body programme so I can focus more on training for that marathon that I may or may not run in January.

And speaking of running. . . my speed has been getting insanely fast– relatively speaking, of course. I’m not talking Kara Goucher fast, but more like myself-5-years-ago fast. Last week I ran 7 miles in about 55 minutes. Suh-weet.

Although I donated blood after that run and all my runs since then have deflated my ego. We all know what happens when I run after donating blood.

Oh and hey there! Look! It’s a recipe for something other than cookies!

I made this dish on Friday night. It was a good Friday night dish because it was quick, easy, and involved ingredients that I already had in the cupboard. It was a dish that I could make and eat quickly before my usual Friday night grocery trip and late night baking session.

Bonus: It makes really good leftovers*.

*Keep in mind that, in spite of your rave reviews, your husband and brother-in-law will probably prefer to eat pizza over said leftovers while watching Sunday night football.
